The Secretary's report was as follows : In reviewing the record of the work of the Young Men's Cliristiau Association f Honolulu for the past year, it must be remembered that the work has been more or less hindered by the political state of the country. The directors have held thirteen meetings. The attendance at these meetings has been good, and the demand upon their time and personal attention has been most freely given. The ideal association now arises to help the whole man through its work, viz., the spiritual, mental, social and physical. Thus far we have not been able to offer the physical work to theyoung men of the city, but trust this may come in due time. Young men come to the association from tbe Coast in large numbers. Quite a number have been helped to boarding houses. There have been vNXa Ti D W. CuRBFTr, ti'ntti plolatnrpit.i 130 applications for employment, but on account of the dullness of trade only twenty nine situations have been secured, Tne total membership on 3Iarch 31st numbers 274, a gain of forty-nine during the year. A large number of young men on entering business life discover that they Lave not taken advantage of their early educational privileges, and, on this account, fail to secure promotion in business. Mental train-inn is a necessity for advancement. To meet this, evening educational classes were inaugurated .in October in the following branches: Bookkeeping, drawing, sbortband and type-writing. Notwithstanding our limited facilities in this work 107 young men enrolled in thoie classes and good work bas been accomplished. Our thanks are due to Mr. Wm. A. Bowen for his gratuitous work as Instructor in book-keeping. Next season we hope to have even better results along this line. As an example of the practical work accomplished in this department, I take the liberty of reading the following letter received from a business-house in this city: "Me. D. "W. Corbett, Secretary Yonng 31en's Christian Association. Deae See. TTe have tested Mr. P 's efficiency in shorthand, and find he can take from dictation correctly and quite rapidly, and in appreciation o your services as instructor we enclose yon herewith our check oa Messrs. Bishop & Co. for S10O, which you can retain for yonr own use or for tbe Young Men's Christian Association, as you may deem proper. "Very truly yours, ""Castle & Cooke. 'March 23, 1KH." The Association offers its members anu friends a reading room, which is well lighted and stocked with the choicest magazine, papers and periodicals. The fact that ttie daily average attendance to room number? IJ shows bow it is appreciated. The library contains about 500 readable books for circulation, 3W of the number having beer added during the year. Oar tLsuk. are due to tbe Glee Club for a concert given for the Library Fund, and also to Rew A. S. l' ..V WwWiJF Eligli a Hags, v f'mfr?r. TSif r.'a fifPr7 ft THE Y. M. C. A. BUILDING. (olttehed ly on Adcrt.ser Artist.) ".. I Twombly, .u. u.. lor ins excellent course of lectures. To supply and wisely direct the reading and" mental training of young men is to lay the foundation for a , stronir, healthy manuooii and a useful life. Every young man, whether living in a boarding house or in a city home, must have the company oi otner : vouug men. The manner in which I lie spends his evenings will largely determine his character, ine social side of a young man's life is the open side to temptation?, and the one through which thousands of young men are ruined for time and eternity. The Association should, therefore, be the brightest spot m the city, awl, while it never cau be a substitute for the home, it should have so much of the home spirit as to make it a point where young men will naturally gravitate. At the present time our rooms have not this feature, but the aim should be to make the place so attractive that the young men of the city will look on the rooms as a meeting place for appointments and a rendezvous for p daily-call. A number of receptions for sailors of the different war vessels visiting the port have been held, and with gratifying results. The association only exists because it C3res for the spiritual needs of youDg men. It is because the directors believe that young men can be reached and influenced by their fellows towards the acceptation of Jesus Christ as their Savior, that they have triven tima and money and effort to place this building 33 a place of refuge in the midst of the city's temptations To neglect the religious work, would be recreant to its highest purpose and obligation?. The following meetings are held weekly in the building, one Evangelistic ssrvice and two Bible classes for the study of the Scriptures. The outside work, includes a service dt Bethel Mission, Oahu Prison and the Barracks. During the year, a monthly Temperance concert has been held, the average attendance membering 219. A Junior Department was organized last September, and has proven successful. A Gospel meeting for boys is held on Sunday afternoon. We gratefully "acknowledge a donation of i75.0O from Mr. Henry Water- house for books for this work. Through! this department the association is brought in touch with the homes. To record statistics in summing up a vear's work is difficult. We canuot tabulate the minds which have been trained and developed, the characters which have been strengthened and the decisions made whirh have influenced the lives of young men for time as well as eternity. The preventive work is by no mean the least in imoortance. Tne association realizing the of the work among sui!or is planing to secure the services of a man who will give his time to this class of young men. We believe the time has now come when the association should take action in adding the work of physical culture by the erection of a well equipped "gymnasium. This would undoubtedly, be a means of drawing many young men into the work, anil abo presenting an opportunity to educate the youn? men In an all round manner that of body, mind and spirit- D. W. COBBETT. General Secretary. The Treasurer's report showed receipts of $4,029.65, and expenditures of $4,017.37, leaving a balance of $12.2S. The report of the Devotional Committee, made by C. J. Day, was as fellows : During the year that has gone the number of religious meetings held under the auspices of the association has been 357, with a total attendance of 14,072. Thw shows -light increase in number over the previous year. The following are the meetings held: First Strvice at 0hu Prison Sunday at 11 a. m. Second Service at Binarks p. ra. Third Bible study in the association parlor Sunday at-3:30 p. m. Fourth Hoy- meeting in the hall Sunday at 330 j . ra. Fiftli Praise service In the ball Sunday evening at 6:30 p. m. Slxth Mission service at Bethel Hall Sunday at 7:30 p. m. Seventh Bible class in association parlor Tuesday at 7:30 p. in. Eighth Mission service at Bethel Hall Sunday at 7:30 p. m. Fifty-one" meetings have been held at the prison, under the leadership of G. P. Castle, W. C. Weedon and W. A. Bowen. The total attendance at same has been 5126, an average of 102. These meetings arc held uuder a large banyan tree, aud are much appreciated "by the men. To reach the various nationalities here gathered, addresses are made hi Hawaiian, Chinese, Japanese and Portuguese The chairman of this work reports very encouragiugly of it. At the close of each service prayers and tracts are distributed among and eagerly sought for by the prisoners. An effort is being made to place a small library of suitable reading books in the prison. Those who have old books to give away will confer a favor by reporting same to the general secretary of the association. The services at the Barracks have numbered fifty, and the average attendance at same has been eighteen. The meetings have been encouraging, and good has been accomplished. The room wherein these services have been conducted has been appropriated for other purposes, and at present this service has been discontinued. We trust that they will soon be resumed. The Bible classes in the Association rooms have not been as well attended as wished for. The total attendance numbered 904. The boys meeting ha3 had an average attendance of twenty-eight, and good'work accomplished. The regular praise service, at 6:30 Lo'clock, has bad a total attendance of 4 1 tU, or an average of w, showing an increase over the previous year. The work at Bethel Mission has on Saturday evenings with fair results only. This is doubtless due to the fact that but few of tbe workers have lent their aid. The Sunday evening mission at the same was discontinued. During the week of prayer for youug men, a noon-day service was held at the Association rooms, with much profit to those who attended.

R?p!ey, was theD read. It was an f IIowh: ' Ladies and Gentlemen: In the by-laws of the Young Men's Christian Association of Honolulu, wherein is set forth tbe duties of Its officers, these words will be fouud: "The President shall preside over the meetings of the association, and shall deliver an address before the association at its annual meeting, upon retiring from office;"' without this excuse for occupying your time upon this most interesting occasion, I should feel great reluctance in attempting to address you. We are taught that at some time "the last shalt be first and the first shall be last," so it is tonight, and I am convinced that you all desire tbe last President of this association, who is to be tbe first to address you, and who bas but one year to review, shall be as brief as posible, that the flrt President who Is to be the last to address you, and who has twenty-five years to review, may have ample time at ItN disposal. Tills night an association year; tonight we pass the twenty fifth mile stone in oar association journey, a we turn for a moment to look upon the beaten track of the post We more clearly than ever before the gravity and importance of th-events which have transpired in the j ear now ended. J To a large extent our members are active participants in the social and political affairs of the laud, as conscience dictated they have assumed tho new and greater responsibilities which came with the new and changed conditions of citizenship lu Hawaii; yet amid all these distractions during this most serious financial depression, which alTecls every one in a greater or less degree, our memoers have not failed in their obligations to this association; no meetings have been omitted, every tiuaucial obligation has been met, aud as the duties elsewhere made greater demauds upon our working force, greater sacrifices were made to meet the needs of our association, aud it Is with gratitude to such co-workers that I pay this tribute to their fidelity. Early in the year our General Secretary, H. W. Peck, left our association to take up his residence in another laud, aud D. W. Corbett, of Montreal, was secured to tako tho position. Any change in this most important office must of necessity make some break in our regular work. Ve lost an earnest, devoted, Christian worker we gained another; but no two men work on the same lines, so the new worker the stranger must needs get acquainted and take up the work in his own way. How this has been done I need not remind you, but let mere ueno misapprehension as to the work devolving upon the General Secretary. He cau do the work of hut one iumber of this association; he canuot 'o your work or mine It would not be well that he should, if he had the power. He has his duties, and I doubt uot he will perform them faithfully, but each member of the association has his duties as well, aud thev should be performed with cquat zeal and fidelity. This association can only reach Its possibilities for good when it has a large number of earnest, Christian workers among Its members. The General Secretary may be the leader of these workers, but he cau never take the place of them. The YoungMen's Christian Association is not an institution lu which "one man power" can supply the needed force. We may sing that familiar refrain, "There's a work for me and a work for you; something for each of us now to do," with much profit, if by so doing we become impressed with tbe importance of each doing his own work and doing it now. As an association we no longer work along a single line and with but one object in view; where in earlier years of association work the religious welfare of the young man was tha only object, now we recognize the need of developing the "all round man;" we have found it to be true that tbe spiritual is but one side of man's nature and to have the best man there must be four sides developed. the mental, physical, social and spiritual; upon these four lines and not upon any one of them alone must we work, giving to each the intelligent, consecrated labor which its importance claims at our hands. When the Young Men's Christian Association, keeping in touch with the spirit of the age, broadened Its scope of work, when It ceased to be exclusively a religious agency, and developed "into Its present form, having for its alms the upbuilding of the whole mau upon the four Hues I have indicated, it then became pre-eminent among all institutions which are animated by the spirit of tho Master; discarding all creed aud declining all controversy it has exalted Him whom it serves, aud succeeded as no other institution has in bringing His life in touch with its work. Like all institutions which are destined to be permanent and accomplish great results, the growth of the Youug Men's Christian Association has been an evolution. We are now a. part of a great organization which has given t every problem which affects the in-I terests of young men as profound ! study as has been given to any social problems ot the age. By the experience of a half century throughout thi world, by that of a quarter of a century of work in Honolulu, It is known that tosive young men from themselves and their evil environments, ve must provide agencies which :i-peal to them more strongly than i !o the agenceies of evil which are co generously provided. We have Ie irned that young men do not drop h. o evil habits with deliberate intent, but that such habits I are the legitiiu ite results of the con-1 ditlonsand environments into which the average joung man is placed; ' hence we reason that it Is for the elation to prevent rather than to cure. : To successfully carry forward the I work of this association upon the lines ! I have suggested, to meet the obligations placed upon us by the edge we now possess of the menU of association work, three things are needed. We want a general I secretary, thoroughly trained In the j best methods of association work a I man who can get knocked down on the ball-ground and get up smiling; I a man who can be a boy with the i boys, a leader In their sports as well ' as a lender In a prayer or praise ser-' vice, 'an all-round man, a man with t sanctified common sense. Such a man we have we are fortunate; we want . tbe means to supply all tbe appliances which can be used in every department of work, with a hall for religious services; we want a gymnasium, with class rooms; we want a swimming tank, with bible, dumb-bells, with hymn-books and with our library of books plenty iif games, and lart but not least we must have consecrated Christian men who will give their time, their study, their prayers to this work, doing all for the caupe of Christ and in his name.
